Hi GroupDIY Members! I bit the bullet today and joined because I'm exploding with excitement, anxiety, and joy to start an 1176 DIY project. Please excuse the excessive amount of ignorance your about to read! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! 
I've searched high and low for a guide to start this project and found them and its like starting a new language when I see the schematics. I found the Hairball kit and it helps but I have no idea where to start. I can learn quickly if I'm shown where it starts and ends. I want to jump in but with an idea and so far, all the posts I find have no clear direction (or maybe I'm skipping over something). All in all, I'm looking for a guide that can explain how to read schematics, and where to begin for this project. Some people suggested to build smaller gear like pedals and what not but I LOVE CHALLENGES which lead me to this project (Even though it might not be that difficult). Please, if someone can point me to the right direction, I will greatly appreciate it.
